Rotini With Artichoke, Smoked Salmon, And Anchovies

1. 1

   In a large pot, cook the pasta following the package instruction (I usually skip the salt). On 5 minutes mark before the pasta is done, stir in broccoli and cover the pot. Continue cooking until the pasta is al-dente. Drain.

2. 2

   Set the pasta and broccoli aside . Stir in 2 tbsp of anchovy oil to keep them from sticking to each other.

3. 3

   In the same pot, heat up 2 tbsp anchovy oil on medium-high heat. Add the onion and cook until wilted and start to caramelized. Add carrots and stir until the carrots soften a bit, around 5-7 minutes.

4. 4

   Stir in Parmesan, tarragon, thyme, balsamic vinegar, and pepper. Stir in the pasta, broccoli, and cook for another 2-3 minutes.

5. 5

   Turn off heat, then stir in anchovies.

6. 6

   If you want to serve everything right away, stir in smoked salmon and serve. Otherwise, keep the salmon aside. When heating up: after you heat up the pasta for serving, stir in the smoked salmon (otherwise the salmon will be cooked through).
